Increasing studies indicate that long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) plays a critical role in aerobic glycolysis of various tumors. However, the contribution of lncRNA in gastric cancer (GC) cell glycolysis is still poorly understood. The objective of this research was to investigate the functional role and mechanism of lncRNA long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 1391 (LINC01391) in the aerobic glycolysis and tumorigenesis of GC. Here, we report that LINC01391 was low expressed in GC tissues and cell lines. LINC01391 overexpression hampered GC cell proliferation, migration, invasion and aerobic glycolysis, while LINC01391 knockdown demonstrated the opposite effects. LINC01391 overexpression delayed the tumor growth in vivo. Furthermore, LINC01391 interacted with miR-12116, and miR-12116 interacted with CMTM2 in GC cells. And miR-12116 and CMTM2 participated in the inhibitory effects of LINC01391 on cell migration, invasion and aerobic glycolysis in GC cells. LINC01391 restrained aerobic glycolysis and tumorigenesis of GC via targeting miR-12116/CMTM2 axis, which provides new insights into mechanism of GC progression.
Background LncRNA dysregulation is implicated in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) progression; However, the precise role and function of lncRNA MAFG-AS1 in ESCC remains unknown. Materials and Methods Expressions of MAFG-AS1, miR-765, PDX1, GLUT1 and LDH-A were detected via qRT-PCR or/and Western blot in ESCC tissues and cell lines. CCK-8, transwell and glycolysis assays were used to investigate the effects of MAFG-AS1 on ESCC cell proliferation, migration, invasion and aerobic glycolysis after knockdown or overexpression of MAFG-AS1, and bioinformatics analyses, RNA pull-down and dual luciferase reporter systems were applied to investigate the interaction between MAFG-AS1, miR-765 and PDX1. Results MAFG-AS1 was significantly up-modulated in ESCC tissues and cell lines. MAFG-AS1 significantly accelerated ESCC cell proliferation, migration, invasion and aerobic glycolysis. MAFG-AS1 competitively adsorbed miR-765, while miR-765 negatively modulated the expression of PDX1. miR-765 and PDX1 participated in the promotive effects of MAFG-AS1 on cell migration, invasion and aerobic glycolysis in ESCC cells. Conclusion Our research indicates that the MAFG-AS1/miR-765/PDX1 axis accelerates ESCC cell proliferation, migration, invasion and aerobic glycolysis.
Background: Dysregulation of lncRNAs is implicated in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) progression; However, the precise function of lncRNA FAM83H-AS1 in ESCC remains unknown. Methods: FAM83H-AS1, miR-4684-5p and ZBTB38 mRNA expressions were detected via qRT-PCR. ZBTB38, GLUT1 and LDH-A protein expressions were tested via Western blot. Cell proliferation, migration and invasion were evaluated via CCK-8 and transwell assay, respectively. A nude mouse xenograft model was used to investigate the role of FAM83H-AS1 in xenograft ESCC growth. The metabolic shift in ESCC cells was examined via glycolysis analysis. The interaction between FAM83H-AS1, miR-4684-5p and ZBTB38 was analyzed via computational algorithms, RNA pull-down, RIP and dual luciferase reporter assay. Results: We found that FAM83H-AS1 was upmodulated in ESCC cell lines. FAM83H-AS1 knockdown hampered ESCC cell proliferation, migration, invasion and aerobic glycolysis, while FAM83H-AS1 overexpression demonstrated the opposite effects. FAM83H-AS1 knockdown also delayed the tumor growth in vivo. Moreover, FAM83H-AS1 interacted with miR-4684-5p/ZBTB38 axis in ESCC cells. ZBTB38 overexpression or miR-4684-5p inhibition partially reversed the inhibitory effect of FAM83H-AS1 knockdown on cell migration, invasion and aerobic glycolysis in ESCC cells. Conclusion: Our present results indicate FAM83H-AS1 accelerated aerobic glycolysis and tumorigenesis of ESCC by sponging miR-4684-5p and triggering the expression of ZBTB38, providing new insights into mechanism of ESCC progression and therapeutic strategy.
